SEVENTY SIXTH BALLOT.
SEVENTY SEVENTH BALLOT.
On motion of MIR. Farrell the caucus
adjourned until Friday night.
THE PLOT FAILED.

fl4ol
The desperate effort to slaughter Perry
because he sent in the nomination of
Broome for circuit judge was a dead
failure. Both Perry and Bloxham seem
To have n solid phalanx of about thirty
each who are equally determined to stand
by their respective favorites to the end.
When it appears. as it did tonight. that
the changing of three or four votes can
make no difference in the result and the
caucus lis no nearer a nomination
than before, the final issue is
not difficult to predict
Ii seems certain that no PascO votes
will go to Bloxham. None did tonight
in the supreme effort to stampede the
field. Bloxham's accessions were drawn
from Perry's vote, four of them, and
they all went back to Perry, while Pas
cos vote remained the same. Neither
Perry nor Bloxham could be nominated
from Pascos vote if Pasco was out of
the race. If nomination is made dur
ing the session it will he by little less
than a miracle.
